Duckietown is a class on advanced autonomy taught at MIT

For Spring 2016, MIT has a new class about the science of autonomy at the graduate level. This is a hands-on, project-focused course focusing on self-driving vehicles and high-level autonomy.
The problem: **Design the Autonomous Robo-Taxis System for the City of Duckietown.**

This is a class for makers && thinkers

This is a collaborative effort: 2 Labs (CSAIL and LIDS), 3 Departments (ME, AeroAstro, EECS), and over a dozen people helped created this class, under the supervision of Prof. John Leonard and Prof. Jon How.

Duckietown is a reproducible, open-source class

This is an open-source class: all materials (hardware design, software, and teaching materials) will be released as "open source" (a free software license for code; a Creative Commons license for teaching materials)
